Many have held out hope that Mullen could take us to the next level, while the rest of us have been disgruntled about his inability to beat the dwags and recruit at a higher level. Well, he cleared a huge hurdle yesterday. I give no Fuchs how depleted the dwags were, as we’ve dealt with much worse situations over the past decade.
Think about the folks hired about the time we hired Mullen. Chip Kelly, Scott Frost, Jeremy Pruitt? PJ Fleck, James Franklin, Willie Taggart were hired right around that time. Mike Norvell was available.
I’ve said numerous times after my initial disappointment with the hire that he was the right choice. We were desperate for improvement but more importantly some stability after the previous two dumbasses. I’d like to see the needed improvement in recruiting, but I’m pretty pleased with the product on the field (other than Grantham’s unit, that’s for another time).
Did he buy himself some time with the naysayers? Thoughts?
